FREDERICK RAUSOHER, OF WEST NEW BRIGHTON, NEW YORK.

WASH-BASIN OR SINK FOR-KITCHENS, 80c.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 227,575, dated May 11, 1880.

Application filed March 17, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK RAUSOHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at West New Brighton, in the county of Richmond and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Wash-Basins or Sinks for Kitchens and other Places, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to washbasins or sinks especially for kitchen use-as, for instance, in washingdishes, &c'.and will first be described with reference to the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows the basin or sink partly in front view and partly in section. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section thereof.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

The letter A designates the basin or sink proper, to the bottom of which is connected a stench-trap, B 5 and C, Fig. 1, is anoverflowpipe extending from the upper part of the basin to the trap.

Adjacent to the basin A is situated a drainer, D, for receiving the dishes or other articles that are washed in the basin, and from this drainer to the overflow-pipe 0 extends a wastepipe, e. By connecting the waste-pipe c to the overflow-pipe G the trap B is made to answer for both the basin A and the drainer D, and I obviate the use of two separate traps for these two parts.

The trap .13 may be made of any usual or suitable construction. In this example I have combined with the trap a plug, 70, for retaining the water in the basin A when the latter is being used for washing dishes or other analogous purposes.

The basin A is attached to a top plate, F, beneath a hole, g, formed in such plate, and with this top plate is cast the bottom h of the drainer, as shown in Fig. 1. The draineris composed of the bottom hand of a perforated top, 7', which rests on a shoulder, 2', formed on said bottom, where it is fastened by screws or other suitable means, so that the perforated top 7' is (No model.)

flush with the top plate, F, of the basin. The peculiar construction of the drainerD renders its attachment to the top plate, F, extremely facile.

The top plate, F, with its concomitants, is supported by legs L, and, if desired, a pump, N, may be applied to the top plate adjacent to the wash-basin.

To the rear part or edge of the top plate, F, is attached a back, 0, which is constructed with vertical passages 19 10, open at both ends, for the connection of water-supply pipes that is to say, the water-supply pipes are connected to the vertical passages at either end thereof, when the passages are closed at their opposite ends by suitable plugs. The position of the vertical passages 10 p on the back 0 is opposite to the basin A, and to the same are connected faucets Q Q, for drawing the water -into the basin, the faucets being intermediate of the heads of the passages.

To form the vertical passages n p, I attach a suitable casting, R, to the back 0, as shown in Fig. 3, and I make use of two passages, in order that the basin may be supplied with hot and cold water 5 but it is obvious that one of the passages may be omitted. By leaving the passages p 10 open at both ends the Water-supply pipes may be readily connected thereto, whether such pipes run up or down in a buildmg.

What I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In combination with the basin A, the top plate, F, having a hole, beneath which the basin is attached thereto, and having cast therewith the bottom of the drainer D, such bottom being formed with a shoulder on which rests the perforated top of the drainer, substantially as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
